Pope caught lying about sexual abuse victims in Chile. The Pope claimed no victims of the abuse by priests in Chile had come forward but it turns out they actually flew to Rome, visited the Vatican, and handed Cardinal Sean O’Malley a letter detailing what happened; and later the cardinal called them and said he personally handed the letter to Pope Francis. That was in 2015. This is 2018.

Women’s March sides with man. Rose McGowan has been the heroine of the Me Too movement but last week a man-who-thinks-he’s-a-woman confronted her at a book signing and they ended up in a shouting match. Turns out the man-who-thinks-he’s-a-woman has been accused of preying on 13-year-old girls but, nevertheless, the Women’s March has rebuked McGowan for being “transphobic.”

* The Steele dossier formed an essential part of the initial and all three renewal FISA applications against Carter Page.

* Andrew McCabe confirmed that no FISA warrant would have been sought from the FISA Court without the Steele dossier information.

* The political origins of the Steele dossier were known to senior DOJ and FBI officials, but excluded from the FISA applications.

* DOJ official Bruce Ohr met with Steele beginning in the summer of 2016 and relayed to DOJ information about Steele’s bias. Steele told Ohr that he, Steele, was desperate that Donald Trump not get elected president and was passionate about him not becoming president.

News reports last week revealed that the federal agency struck a deal with Livermore-based Vigilant Solution to obtain license plate reader information. In a statement to CNN, an ICE spokesperson said the information would be a “tool in support of its investigations.” The news sparked outrage among immigrant rights activists who are raising privacy concerns.

According to the Times, which cited three people familiar with the memo, the FBI and Justice Department’s application was based partially on research by investigator Christopher Steele, who compiled a dossier containing unverified claims about President Trump‘s ties to Russia.
